I have no salt in my diet. Absloutely none.

I do see a doctor on a regular basis for check-ups. The only thing that I am being treated for is ovarian cysts and severe endometriosis. I have been to a neurologist who found nothing wrong., and I do have regular check-ups with my OB/GYN.

Answer 1

GREETINGS, have you been to the dr lately? reg dr and gyno? You need to be evaluated for why it's swelling, blood tests, gyno exam, veinogram to rule out blood clot, and finally if none of that shows up they may diagnose you with lymphedema.

Answer 2

Have you had anything different to eat lately? The swelling of the abdomen could be a symptom of your ovarian cysts or endometriosis. Or has the Dr. put you on any medication for your diagnosis of endometriosis? If so you may be allergic. If you are allergic to the medication (if you are on any) you need to go straight back to the doctor and have it changed. Some medication can cause jaundice which is a severe side effect. If this is the case you must cease the medication immediately and consult your doctor. If you keep using the meds, it could lead to severe liver damage.

I am not a medical expert and therefore you should not take my word for it. I am only advising on what I know from recent and past medical studies that I am doing and have done in the past.

You may need to drink more water, beleive it or not you body may be trying to hold on to your fluids, if your not getting enough water, its like a survival mode, and if you drink plenty of water on a daily basis it will not only cleanse your system, but it will let go of the excess bloating, because it will be getting enough of what it needs, and then you will be able to expel the excess, that is causing the bloating. A minimum of 64 ounces of water a day is recommended for the average adult. Hope this helps, Remember you have to keep it up, or the symptoms will return.
